Well, the Lakers will give them a tough series. A lot hinges on Nash getting back. We need to play Grizzlies basketball, keep up the defensive intensity and grind these games out, give ourselves a chance to win in the fourth. We'll be alright.

Depending on the health of Ginobili, Parker's performances, Nash's return, and a little bit of luck we might have a chance here. A really really small one but at least they're aren't fully healthy as opposed to OKC. I don't think we'll win but it should be a fun series.

Also I don't really mind any of the Spurs players, unlike OKC where half their roster just annoys me.

If we emphasize defense and our frontline on offense (taking the 3ball from going inside out), then the Lakers may shock some people. And for god's sake, when Nash returns, please monitor his minutes responsibly!

Doing anything else...forgetaboutit! But I'm going to remain pessimistic about our chances....cause so far it seems to be working out in our favor.

We really need Nash to come back. Steve Blake has been solid for us, but I really do not want the Lakers playing Morris and/or Glock for extended periods of time during the playoffs. Forget their skill levels, we need experienced veterans out there.

A deep man, believes that the evil eye can wither, that the heart's blessing can heal, and that love can overcome all odds.

Right now, with this roster, I don't know if we can win the series. We might win 1 or 2, max. However, if we have a healthy Nash who adds a totally different dimension to this team, even at his advanced age, that will be a huge help to our team. It also helps he's our best shooter by far.

Jordan Hill also coming back will be huge. We add another big body who can guard the 4&5 & rebound at a very high rate. He's all energy and give 100% effort. He can also add another body we throw at Duncan at different points during the game. J. Hill makes a ton of difference to this team and strengthens our bench.

WTS...if we get what Nash & Hill are capable of along with the same effort & intensity we have been bringing, I think we pull an upset. Lakers in 6...

If we get Nash and Hill back, we have a real chance. Nash's ability to play defense will be key, though. We've defended the pick and roll so well the past two games, it'd be a shame to see that change.

We've got that huge advantage down low and Dwight is beasting on D. We just need to slow the game down and keep rotating well on defense.
